Food for the Honey Bees

The latest visitors to the garden are honey bees!
Here is one that we spotted collecting pollen from a giant sunflower. This means that there is a honey bee hive somewhere within a 2 mi radius, because that's how far the bees will travel to look for food.

Fighting Hunger with Fresh Veggies

Today we took a box of heirloom organic tomatoes, red peppers and herbs from the SMU Learning Garden to the Thurston County Food Bank.
